Chords for Christy Moore - The Voyage

_ This song was written by Johnny Doon _ _ out of [E] Limerick.
_ _ He sent this song upstairs about 1978. _ _ _
_ _ There's a woman down here in front of me, she's going mad here.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Hope to God I get it right, no? _ _
_ _ _ _ She's got a huge mouth.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ There's like two cornerbacks in here. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I _ [E] am a sailor, [D] and you're my [A] first mate.
_ _ _ _ _ We sailed on [E] together, _ [B] caught on by [E] a fate. _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] All up [E] our anchor, _ [D] _ determined not [A] to fail. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ For the [E] highest treasure, _ [A] the gun _ we set sail. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ With no maps [E] to guide us, [D] we steered our [A] own course. _ _ _
_ _ _ Wrought of [E] the storms [D] from the winds working [E] for us.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] Sad of [E] the doldrums [D] of patience [A] and hope. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Working _ [E] together, _
[D] we learned [A] how to cope. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] Life [F#m] is an ocean, and love is a bore.
_ [Bm] _ Things flow over _ [D] waters, it keeps us [E]
afloat.
_ _ _ _ [D] When we started the voyage, [C#] there was just [F#m] me and you. _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ Now, gathered round us, [E] we have our [A] anchor. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And [E] together, _ _ [D] we're sailing this [A] ship. _ _ _ _
We built [E] it with _ care [D] to last the [E] whole trip. _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] Our true _ _
[E] destination [D] is not marked on any [A] chart. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ We're [E] navigating _ [D] through the shores of [A] the heart. _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ Life is an ocean, _ _ love is [F#m] a bore.
_ [Bm] Things flow over waters, [D] it keeps us [E] afloat.
_ _ _ _ [D] When we started _ [E] the voyage, [C#] there was just me [F#m] and you. _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ Now, gathered round us, [E] we have our [A] anchor. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
We'll finish up tonight together now with one more blast of the voyage.
_ _ Thank you very much for coming out tonight, and thank you to them all here in the visual for _ making it such an enjoyable evening. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] Life _ [F#m] is an ocean, [C#] and love [F#m] is a bore.
_ [Bm] It's troubled _ _ waters, [D] it keeps us afloat. _ _ _ _
When we started [E] the voyage, there [C#] was just [F#m] me and you. _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ Now, gathered round us, [E] we have our [A] anchor. _ _ _ _ _ _
Thank you very much.
